	I have recently been getting aquainted with epoch.

	The question I had was: "How do I stop the epoch window from raising
to the top of the screen every time that I accidentally run the mouse's
pointer across its window?"  I've looked into this problem quite a bit, and I
realize that the window has an "autoraise" variable.  The problem is I have
no idea how to change it.  I've messed with the epoch.el file and even
changed the name of the file, but for some reason epoch still runs with the
autoraise variable set.  

	I've looked at the epoch manual and I just don't get it.  It talks
about event-queues, epoch primitives, elisp levels, and variables with the
values of t and nil????  All I want to know is how to disable the very
annoying autoraise!  It assumes that I know "how to".  Can anyone tell me
"how to" or where I can find out "how to"?  Or maybe both.

	Thanks.

	The epoch.el file is loaded into Epoch when it is "dumped" at
compile-time; therefore auto-raise-screen's default value is t, and
changing epoch.el after the fact will have no effect.  To set it to
nil, insert the following line into your .emacs file:   

	(setq auto-raise-screen nil)

	In general, the .emacs file (or other personal elisp files
loaded from it) is the place to override default settings like that.
